I had a colon resection 5 months ago for a precancerous polyp. My Dr. wants to do a follow up colonoscopy next month although I am not having any problems or symptoms. I am 66 years old and on Medicare. They covered the original colonoscopy, biopsy and surgery. My questions are: do I need another colonoscopy so soon and will Medicare cover it? They told me they only cover them every 24 months.View Thread
